“There is no real direction here, neither lines of power nor cooperation. Decisions are never really made – at best they manage to emerge, from a chaos of peeves, whims, hallucinations and all around assholery.”

It’s legal in a lot of states in the US

Literacy has betrayed me again

I’ve never heard the word hebophile and I bet a lot of people haven’t either. Sometimes when unfamiliar words are introduced as part of a story or event, they become a central part of that story and forever linked to it. Maybe people should use it more regarding trump.

I couldn’t live without a dining table. Where else would I keep car parts when they come out of the dishwasher?

No one said that though. What was said was that as more people use Linux we will see more malware. And they’ve been saying that forever.

Here is an article talking about it from 2003 https://www.theregister.com/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/

If I knew how to search Usenet these days I’m sure I could find something from the 90s

It’s not untrue, actually, is common sense that there will be more malware, but it implies Linux’s only advantage is security through obscurity.

People have been worrying Linux is going basically become Windows over the next couple of years for 2-3 decades now. Malware is a serious problem that Linux users should take precautions from, but it seems clear by now that what security advantages it has aren’t based on obscurity.

One can never be sure what President Brain Worms is talking about but I’m pretty sure Obama started a ten year plan to modernize our nuclear forces early in his presidency.

I’m not saying Linux is immune, just that people have said that, practically word-for-word, forever.

He probably has some brain worms he got from RFK in there starting to death

People were saying the exact same thing when I first started using Linux in 1999-ish

Is this in response to a thing going around Christian circles where they say the Bible contains 65,000 hyperlinks, and humans couldn’t have done that so it must have been God?

This “hyperlink” business is based on a similar graphic that someone put together and it really is pretty. Each “hyperlink” is supposedly a part of the Bible that references another part of the Bible. But I could never find their data, although they sell a print of the graphic.

I did once find a website that documented 100,000 Bible “hyperlinks” and the data there is absolutely a joke. Like, any verse that mentions the word “good” is a hyperlink to every other verse that uses that word

I just want to know how the hell it’s supposed to cost $250 million. I searched for $250 million buildings and found a 25 storey tower, a SpaceX launch facility and the hangar that holds the entire fleet of Air Force One jets. A stupid ballroom should cost a few million tops.

I don’t think we have enough Fox news hosts to replace them all

There are people who think urine is healthy and, I guess, drink it or something. I used to have a screenshot of a Facebook post where someone asked their fellow urine lovers if they ever put it in a humidifier and there were a lot of replies about how to best do it

“Seinfeld spoke at the school…”

He really shouldn’t be in a school

“We have found that autism is caused by woke”

Such a dumb argument. Now only is it simply untrue, it wouldn’t matter if it were true. If Chinese companies paid tariffs, their prices would go up and cause inflation. Instead the importer pays, raising prices and causing inflation.

Of course the consumer is the actual end payer in both scenarios.

Gotcha. I read your post wrong.

The phones are one reason I don’t think Meshtastic is good for emergency communications. My main Meshtastic devices run off a battery pack that can run them for 2-3 weeks, but I’d also have to keep a phone charged throughout the disaster to use them.

You don’t need cell towers. Your phone is just used as an input device for the radio.
